If it has to run in a VM, no thanks

Otherwise just run the existing android apps on the external display like the Motorola atrix was doing in 2011. Now the phones have a little bit more power, the experience should be better

With how Google is obsessed by telemetry, they would kill the feature in less than 6 months.

They would see in the telemetry dashboard "only 0.5% of users use it, kill it" - but when you have 2.5 billion users, it's still millions of users...

Especially when it's a feature used by pro users, which almost always change the default setting to stop the telemetry...
